Excerpt from The Family Record: Devoted for 1897 to the Sackett, the Weygant and the Mapes Families, and to Ancestors of Their Intersecting Lines; Nos. 1 12 Valuable additions to the fund of information relating to the numerous Mapes families of Orange County, N. Y., come from Hon. Creo. E. Mapes. Of The Philadelphia Times. And the Hon. J esse S. Mapes, of Syracuse. Nebraska. And, lastly, of a score of desirable records of different branches of the Sackett family received from distant points, that most far reaching-and serviceable in the work in hand is an original manu script sketch of the early history of the family, prepared by Judge Garry V. Sackett, a prominent lawyer of Central New York, over sixty years ago, which comes to the publisher by the way of dis tant New Mexico. As the proof sheets of material from, which the February num ber of the Family Record is to be made up come to the publisher, the fact dawns upon his inexperienced mind that two square feet of type can-not be successfully impressed on one side of one square foot of paper; something must be left over for the March number but what? Subscribing members of the Sackett family must be asked to wait a month for Genealogical Line No. II, the deseen dants of Michael W'eigand, for the cut of that portion of the now famous Washington Headquarters at Newburgh, N. Y., in which their ancestor died; and the interested members of the Mapes line, for facsimiles of their family Coats of Arms. All of which it was promised in good faith would appear in this number; but for want of space they will have to be kept over until the next. Some very interesting extracts from letters received will of necessity be held over also. But what is a loss in this, will be a gain in the next.
